extraction, amplification and sequential hybridization of fungal cells, dna and method for evidence of fungal cells in clinical material

摘要

Detecting fungal cells in clinical material, comprises extracting fungal DNA from whole blood and detecting the extracted fungal DNA, and/or identifying the fungal species from the extracted DNA. Also claimed is identifying a fungal species, comprising preparing a test soln. contg. at least segments of the DNA of the species to be identified, and detecting nucleotide sequences characteristic of the species in the soln.. Also claimed are the oligonucleotide probes (I)-(VI), TCTGGGTAGC CATTTATGGC GAACCAGGAC (I), TTCTGGCTAA CCCCAAGTCC TTGTGGCTTG (II), GTCTTTCCTT CTGGCTAGCC TCGGGCGAAC (III), GTTGGCCGGT CCATCTTTCT GATGCGTACT (IV), TTTCCTTCTG GCTAGCCTTT TTGGCGAACC (V), and CATGGCCTTC ACTGGCTGTG GGGGGAACCA (VI).
